Do you have questions regarding the health of your greyhound? Do you need tips what you should feed your dog? Or do you need advice in curing an injury?
What is best treatment cream to reduce sweeping people have found? At the moment I been told penetrean of one guy other said voltaren what do you guys reccomend what has work in past and after how long have you seen swelling reduce?
Instead of trying to find best treatment, why not take the dog to a vet/muscleman to diagnose why it has happened and what sort of damage it is. It could be anything from a ruptured tendon to a floating bone chip. Rubbing the swelling therefore would achieve little except to make it worse.
First, try to reduce the swelling by putting foot in very cold water for a few days. Have you had it checked by your 'trainer friend' yet? If appropriate diagnosis and treatment isn't done, then of course the dog will keep having swelling in its wrist every run.
Yeh got check and he said apply some penetrane or something he said not broken or nothing just said his wrist been jarred. But was before I got him happen had him 2 weeks now trainer said he hurt his food but didn't have muh clue don't think muscleman said need penetrane or something or bone alignment cream and to keep him from running just walk him.

Kyle, is this the same dog that you have mentioned under "frustrating injury " that has a fractured stopper ?
I would get an x-ray. You never know. As liane said, the smallest chip of bone can cause real issues..

As you know Kyle I'm having a few injury dramas as well so I know the frustration. If x-ray is clear there is a chinese linament I can't remember the name off top of my head but it's quite good for bone and muscle injury. zeng shui or something similar. good luck with it.

Geez Kyle,, not having a go mate,,, but how many dogs have you got? I hope its a lot as the amount of injuries and problems you have mentioned in just a short time is outstanding.
Yeh I heard of the stuff does it burn the dog tho? If not I'll get tomoz worth a crack. Yeh mate it is a joke unlucky I've got one that is injury free and doing well so that's an up. Richard what get when trainers lie about their dogs being in a great condition
